We started with some social time. Those who arrived before 6:30 got to take advantage of happy hour prices at the bar, which is never a bad thing.
Once everyone arrived (almost 50 of our club members!) we attacked the wonderful buffet of caesar salad, fresh fruit, roast beef, mashed potatoes, lasagna, marinated veggies, rice pilaf, and an assortment of pizzas. If anyone had a big training day coming up, they certainly got enough carbs!
After dinner, Jeff Lang (2009 Pres) reviewed the activities of the year, acknowledged the 2009 board and our wonderful sponsors. We have some accomplished triathletes in our club - Branden Rakita came in 21st in the Xterra World Championships, and Tracy Thelen, another pro who was the overall female pro at the Silverman Triathlon. The club had 3 Ironman World Championship finishers (can you say Kona!?!) - Joe Turcotte, Neal Oseland and Rob Ladewig. Wow.
The annual awards were then given out.
The winners were:
Male Triathlete of the Year: Joe Turcotte
Female Triathlete of the Year: Terri Lang
Male Rookie of the Year: Craine Runton
Female Rookie of the Year: Sarah Ackor
Congratulations to all the great folks! After the awards, Jeff handed the torch over to the new president, Nicole Drummer. Nicole announced the new board and then mentioned some of the exciting things we will be planning for 2010.
Then it was time for the raffle! We had lots of Gu (endurance athletes need something to sustain them!) and some other great gifts like beanies, bags, hats from Colorado Running Company, and $25 gift certificates from two of our sponsors, Colorado Running Co., and Bicycle Village.
It was a great evening. If you didn't attend this year, we hope to see you there next year!
